The feather pillow
An old proverb tells the story of a person who repeated gossip – some rumor about a neighbor. Soon, the whole community had heard the rumor. Later, the person who spread the gossip learned that the rumor was untrue. The person was very sorry and went to an elder in the community who had a [...]
WordPress 3.0 is now available
I’ve been looking forward to this update for a while. If for nothing else, this reason alone Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation. I’m looking forward to merging [...]
Five years of blogging
Today my blog celebrates it’s 5th birthday. Ahh… they grow up so fast don’t they.
Answering the question :: What should I blog about?
I have several friends (and family members) with blogs that get updated somewhat frequently. Others are far more occasional, and still others, I have to wonder if they’ve forgotten their password. When I ask them about it, their usual response is, “Well I don’t know what to write about.” I understand, I’ve had writer’s block [...]
Taking a break
Yup, I’m taking a break. A sabbatical, leave of absence, vacation, or whatever you want to call it — a break from Web 2.0. As of writing this, I’m not sure how long it’ll be. I’m thinking at least two weeks, but maybe the whole month of November. We’ll just wait and see.

A Christian Ethic of Blogging

Bad temper is bad temper even in the apparent privacy of your own hard drive, and harsh and unjust words, when released into the wild, rampage around and do real damage. [...]
Blogging about me
I have to admit – that from where I’m sitting – blogging about me can often be rather boring.
Quote of the day
Jesus didn’t say, “I was in prison and you wrote a book for me, I was naked and you complained on your blog about the church’s failure to clothe me, I was sick and you raised money for your salaries using a picture of me,†and so on. – Brian McLaren HT: Duncan McFadzean
What should I blog about?
I hear people tell me all the time that they don’t know what they’d blog about. Everyone has something interesting to say. There are 1 million stories in the naked city every night – or so they say. But the key is to write about what you’re passionate about. I love doing a random check [...]
